Quinoa , Barley and Lentils Haleem

Before marriage I used to eat all kind of food which includes meat and seafood too. After marriage I stop that but when I feel like having whole spices and spicy food which gives flavors of meaty dishes, nothing comes next to haleem. Had it lot of time at friend's place and Muslim friend's marriages and it was absolutely delicious. One day I was remembering my old days and food and all thoughts are coming in to mind so I decided to make haleem for my diner. Oh the best thing it was for me only , my husband was not having diner at home so it was perfect for me. Basically haleem is cooked on slow heat for long time so meat is almost melt in the gravy and you have kind of thick soup kind of consistency. Both Pakistani and Hyderabadi Haleem recipes are awesome. I wanted to have same taste , so I got Haleem spice packet , I didn't wanted to compromise on my taste. You just to think ahead if you want to make this dish, so you have to soak barley 8 hours before and other lentils 3-4 hours  and of course soya nuggets 30 minutes before you start your dish. so lets cook.

Ingredients :

1/4 cup soaked Barley
1/2 cup Quinoa

1/2  cup each orange Masoor dal, chana dal, toover dal
2-3 tbsp. readymade Haleem masala
2 big red onion
3-4 tbsp. oil
1/4 cup soya nuggets (if you want you can use granules too)

For garnish : fried onions, lime wedge, few cilantro leaves

I used this brand but if you can get Shan masala then its awesome too.

Method:

Heat a Deep non stick pan, add 2 tbsp. oil and add thinly sliced 1 red onion and make it brown. Keep it aside.

In same pan , add other chopped onion and cook till its brown.

then add spice powder . It has salt in it so no need to add salt.

After that add all the soaked lentils and barley and soya and quinoa.
Add 4-5 cups of water and cover the lid and cook till all the lentils are cooked and quinoa also cooked.
You don't need dry, it should have very thick soupy consistency.
At the time of serving, take out the haleem in bowl , topped with fried onions, lime wedges and cilantro and enjoy as it is or with yogurt or raita
